Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Ilah, I like the sound of your phrase: APT ! It actually spells out one of my favorite concepts: apt! I believe it defines the 'condition' of many of us rather well. May I have your blessings to use it in regards to my life. I despise the medical phrases in current vogue: syndrome and disorder!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Personally I don't like the term 'aspie'. I prefer to call it Asperger or Autistic Personality Type.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2005 Report Posted May 31, 2005 Lida, I agree with you (and did not use the word you, and I, have a problem with on purpose). Aspie might define a small child well, but, for example, I'm an old goat, not an old goatie! Go APT's!! Rainbow > Personally I don't like the term 'aspie'.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 I don't have a problem with the term aspie either, infact I find it easier to type that than aspergers all the time.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 There are charities and organisations here in the UK that are mispelling Aspergers and actually spelling it Asbergers - Grrrrrrrr - I think I prefer Aspies :-) PS my son's name is Aleister son - initials AS :-) he does actually have a middle name though. > I have no problem with the term " Aspie " ! > Quote

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 Hello Everyone, Where did you hear about people who find autistic and epileptic offensive? I'm autistic and epileptic with partial complex seizures and some grand mals and i don't find being called either autistic or epileptic offensive. Where did you hear about this? So anyways i'll let you go, i just have never heard of anybody who would find their disability to be offensive that's all. I hope to hear from you soon,good luck in all you do. Signed, Greg > > > > > > > Aspie (or autistic) Personality Type. Quote

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2005 Report Posted June 3, 2005 I'm that too, and I've been told that " you're not your diagnosis " when I use the terms.
